NDSU Downtown Campus

I would think we should take some sense of calm in the fact that in your case the Security Guard was checking it out, and this morning a Janitor reported it to Security, who alerted police.

Is is enough? If the guy this morning was carrying a pistol and meant to do harm at that time he would have been in the building. I would guess this will induce added security to the building. Access cards photo ids etc.

Times are changing.

The thing I don't get is how the guy got into the building if he entered after 5pm, cause he wasn't a student, let alone an art or architecture student. Only students who actually have a class inside the building on their class schedule are given card access. Otherwise, probably some student naively opened the door for him.

I am very glad that everyone inside the building and surrounding area were not harmed.

So much crazieness going on these days it was bound to hit us eventually.

Hammersmith posted this in another thread, but I thought it should have it's own topic:

NDSU is partnering with Bullingers/Cityscapes to add downtown housing. It will be where that old movie theater/church is and site prep should begin very soon. My feelings are a bit mixed on this because I hoped that lot could become a performing arts center in 5-10 years with the NDSU music and theatre departments next door or across the street. Still, the living space is needed now and there are plenty of other lots in that area.

I don't think that property in itself would be large enough for a performing arts center, and it's about time something else gets built on that site. The Lark Theater was cool in its day, but that corner has been an eyesore for way too many years.

Sounds like the retail/NDSU housing got the go-ahead at the City Commission meeting tonight along with the Fargodome expansion.

Klai Hall was dedicated today on the downtown campus. Not quite ready for students, but I'm sure they will be in there spring semester. A large crowd was on hand for the dedication and tour.
